President Nana Akufo-Addo has said: “I don’t think that there’s anybody in Ghana who would expect today that things can be just so easily resolved as they are”.
“Some of them are due to the way the world economy is working and its impact on us”, he said.
Addressing a meeting with the Council of State at the Jubilee House on Tuesday, 22 March 2022, Mr Akufo-Addo also said: “It is no secret that our economy is going through difficult times”.
“It is also no secret that we are not alone in that exercise”, he stressed, adding: “The phenomenon that we’re facing, applies to many parts of the world as well. But that doesn’t, therefore, mean that government is impotent in trying to find solutions”.
He noted: “Our retreat which you referred to, is in, some way, quite timely because as a general rule, we have retreats each year on a quarterly basis, and this is the first one for this year.
“Fortunately for us, it coincided with these difficulties and the public anxiety about the way that the economy was going”.
“It gave us, therefore, the opportunity of the three days to look in-depth, where the economy was headed, and what measures were necessary to be taken”, President Akufo-Addo stated.
